Personally I don't understand the concern about A. Lett's background.
It has been stated quite clearly that Austin has financially backed many people/groups in his quest to unlock the secrets of the DDs. His role at Naxos is as the financial backing and partner of Dr. Johnson.
Austin was smart/lucky enough to have found Dr. Johnson, backed him fiancially, and make an agreement with naxos. Good for him, I wish it was me who had that fortunate forsight. I don't know who he has backed in the past, and I don't really care all that much. If(and I am saying If) he has backed some people who had less than stellar reputations in the past, how does affect Naxos or Dr. Johnson for that matter. Austin is a venture capitalist, he has backed many people. this is one more.
As far as weather or not Johnson/Lett had anything to do with selling equipment to Naxos, Kim has already answered that, they didn't. So this conversion you are talking about(which hasn't happened as yet anyway) would be after the answering of that question. As far as certification, maybe people feel as i do, that by Ledoux's mentioning the numbers publically, that is almost as good as certification.
As far as the time frame, maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember anyone saying that it would take 6 moths to get certification. As I read and reread Kim's post, it seems to say to me, that the completion of all the objectives, including the pilot plant would take 6 months. Not that it would all happen in one glorious moment, but that 6 months would be when everything would be done. I would expect to have certification by mid January, IMO.
And yes, Henry, I am still going to Score's
